I did try to find the Mortal Realms one, but couldn’t.

More Broken Realms story time.

Its... Mannfred. And apparently he's pre-emptively setting up a sudden and inevitable betrayal. Very atmospheric, though.
His country needs a better name than 'Carstinia,' however.

I just assumed he named it after the von Carstein family, actually. It seemed a bit trite and overly sentimental (for Mannfred) or just lazy (for the GW writers)

Well its supposedly full of puppets that are all like his old family and enemies, all waiting on him and and foot and singing his priases

I hadn't realized he was supposed to be that shallow of a character.

Well its more like he cant let go of his old hubris and the old world where he was denied his birthright.

Kiwis' online shop has this weeks preorders up, and we have finally our full 3D preview of the full warband. They surely bring foward The Great Plan.

They cost $75 NZ, and only uses two sprues, which makes the plan of Crendor (WoW and no WarhammerCrendor) of buying like 5 boxes something reasonable.

And, for 225 points, we can send the Starblood Stalker to the battlefield of the Mortal Realms. They have the Keywords COALESCED, THUNDER LIZARD, which surprised me a lot because I expected them to be neutral.

It's Mannfred - he has two states of being:

- Planning a betrayal
- Enacting a betrayal

Soulblight Gravelords Preview

Aside from the name, these really look very old-school at first glance. Probably one of the few AOS factions that you could play entirely with classic Fantasy minis from the 80ies and 90ies.

Ooh, I'll definitely be picking up one of the zombie sprues (to add variety and reduce duplication of the Cursed City models) - but I do hope the Fell Bats will get rules for WQ as well - can never have too great a variety of adversaries!

It's doubly stupid considering "Carstein" is already a geographic description name.

Broken Realms Kragnos is very intriguing. What is he? Who are his people?

Zombies are great, but they'll need a lot of options to look good in the massed hordes they come in (up to 60, no?).

Skeletons feel unnecessary, the current kit is good enough, and now they overshadow the elite Grave Guard. Suppose they could always update them too, but still. Dire wolves would have been a better use of the time as it currently appears.

Love the bats, and the Blood Knights are divine. Hoping for a nightmare mounted Vampire Lord too

And are they Destruction?

Was it a dragon ogre type thing, a kurnothi thing?
I need to go look at the picture again as I saw too much other nice things to remember now.
Brb.

Here's the Broken Realms Kragnos image

Very dragon ogre ish really isn’t it.
And he says slept for ages or something too maybe?
Dragon ogres are very old right?

It’s a horse though, innit. Not reptilian, like a Dragon Ogre. Kragan isn’t a very elfy name, and he’s looking at a ruined city when saying his people are gone, so I don’t think it’s Kurnothi either. Plus his shield is that rumour engine of all the dwarfy shields which doesn’t match Kurnothi.

Looks more like a Centigor than a Dragon Ogre.

Kragnos the black was the first Dragon Ogre from the world that was and is described as literally being the size of a mountain. I think Archaon had to retrieve one of his items from him at some as part of his quest to be Everchosen

It does however solve a Rumour Engine.



It’s his shield. Whoever he is.

That would be Krakanok the Black.

Very likely to be that horse leg sneak peak as well.

Kragnos, I guess we may or may not see a model for, and who knows about artwork.
This I’m not sure is him. Just one of his guys?
As it says he’s a god, and that fits with the old world stuff too.. perhaps him becoming a god.

Maybe dragon ogres, dragon horses, dragon dragons..

Well as Underworld has given plenty of plot points before, I say that is the god of the mountain in what Beastgrave is going on.

Hmm scratch that then.
Just something new..

The damn Skink didn't plant the Void Nuke deep enough down, did he? They freed the damn thing rather than destroy. Damn skinks!

Hmmm. His tail and horns do like different than Skaeth.



Kind of different than the Centigors, but this guy has hooves and much larger horns.
